The Race for Money.
The alarming disease of this
country is nervous debility and
prostration. 1t goes under
many names but it is essen,
TALLY the same complaint.
Hospitals and private institu-
tons for nervous patients are
crowded. The average of life
in the United States is de-
creasing every year. Sudden
deaths from nervous collapse
among our business, profess
ional and public men are so
frequent as scarcely to excite
remark. The majority of sui
cides, committed without APP
parent reason, or under so-called
depression of spirits" are
really prompted by nervous
prostration, which is a fruitful
source of insanity and crime
with all their grief and horror.
These facts are startling.
They threaten the very life Of
the nation. They assail the
springs of its power and pros
pcrity. They wreck manhood's
strength and wonlan's useful
ness and beauty.
Every one should know the
causes. What are they2 The
answer is easy and terribly
plain: Our vicious personal
habits; our careless and lawless
eating and drinking; the in.
tense mentaland physical strain
arising from our mad race after
money, position and influence;
the fears and struggles Of pow.
erty; the use of narcotics and
stimulants; our fashion Of
turning day into night and
night into day.; and, briefly,
our desperate willingness to
pay any price for an hours
pleasure or success. So we
burn lifc's candle at both ends
and fill the lunatic asylums
and the graveyards.
The disease from which VIZ
suffer and lie is, in plain Eng
lish, Me'ao0n Dyspepsia, as il
is seated Ill l. Nerves and il
the organs of ...estion, Assim
ilation and Nutrition. Healthy
digestion being ;npcded Or des
troyed, the whole body, nerve
included, is literally starred
even when there is no ENACT
alton to tell the sad story.
Nervous prostration send
out its wainings:-headach
in the morning a persisten'
dull heaviness or aching at the
base ofthe brain; wakefulness
loss OF appetitc and disgust with
food; loss of mental energy and
interest i'll ordinary duties and
business; restlessiless and anx.
iety without any assignable
reason; eructations; bad
breath foul mucous on the
teeth; occasional giddiness /;
palpitation Of the heart; sal
lowness Of the skin; coated
tongue and gradual failure Of
strength and ambition.
The remedy is a total aban-
donment of the habits and GUS
toms which cause the disease
in each individual case, and the
use of Shaker Extract of Roots
(Seigels Syrup to cure the
mischief already done. This
great remedy, prepared by the
Shaker Community of Mt. Leb.
anon, N. Y, is especially adapt
ed to eradicate Nervous Dys
pepsia. To do this it act
directly and gently but power
fully upon the disordered stom
ach, liver and kidneys, restol
ing their tone and vigor, pre-
noting the secretion ofbile, ez
polling waste matters from th
system, and purifying the blood
Upon the nervous systei
Shaker Enhdct(S eigeps Syrup
acts as q safe and wholesom
anodyne without the slightel
narcotic elect, and then leave
the nerves to regain their ma
ural tone and strength throug
its wonderful influence upe
the function Of nutrition.
1t is safe to say more ner
GUS dyspeptics have been !
stored by it from the dept
of misery to a fresh enjoyme,
of life and labor than by al
or all other forms Of treatme,
combined. ..44..4...
